GoT-Splice protocol for multi-omics profiling of gene expression, cell-surface proteins, mutational status, and RNA splicing in human cells

Abstract

Studying RNA splicing factor mutations is challenging due to difficulties in distinguishing wild-type and mutant cells within complex human tissues and inaccuracies associated with reconstructing splicing signals from short-read sequencing data. Here, we present Genotyping of Transcriptomes (GoT)-Splice, a protocol that overcomes these limitations by combining GoT with enhanced long-read single-cell transcriptome and cell-surface proteomics profiling. We describe steps for long-read library preparation and analysis, followed by cDNA re-amplification, enrichment of mutation of interest, sample indexing, and GoT library preparation. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Cortés-López et al.¹.
